How do the frequencies of the waves compare?

O Wave A has a lower frequency because it has a
smaller amplitude.
O Wave A has a higher frequency because it has a
shorter wavelength.
The waves have the same frequency because they
have the same wavelength.
O The waves have the same frequency because they
have the same amplitude.

Answer:

O. Wave A has a higher frequency because it has a shorter wavelength.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wavelength refers to the distance between two crests while frequency refers to the number of waves passes through a specific point per second. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other. Inversely proportional means if one increases, the other decreases and vice versa. If the frequency of the wave is higher so its wavelength becomes shorter and if the frequency of the wave is shorter so its wavelength is higher.
